Game Content. This is for Jorrit to. *shakes*
Yesterday got an E-Mail (I won't dissclose)from a very pissed parent.
It seems the kid downloaded Duke Nukem3D and ran into the dance hall. So I suggest that you put up one of those "Mature" images. I know, he couldn't do anything to me. "I'm not resposible..." But if you don't want "Bad" E-Mails put up those images. I'm adding them to my games now. LINK -Duke3D

This applies to Dosgames.com as well, so I'll leave it here.
Yes, while it is the parent’s responsibility to watch what their kids download, some sort of a rating system would be nice. For instance, in Level 3 of Shadow Warrior there is a hidden Easter Egg where you walk through a waterfall and find a nude woman which probably makes the game inappropriate for children… if there were a warning (for instance “site rating: M for extreme violence and some nudity) then we could at least say “hey, we warned you, if you downloaded it anyway, it’s your fault.”

This is a very good point, one that I should have thought of myself. I think I'll make up some kind of symbol to put on games that include violent content. For certain games I know I mentioned the violence (for example, Executioners!) but I didn't think to include warnings for games like Doom and Hexen, I guess because I played them when I was young and they didn't seriously warp my mind. (At least, I hope not.)
Anyways, good suggestion, I'll try to implement some kind of warning system soon, to protect myself from irate over-reacting parents.
Although really, having warnings on games would ultimately just make kids MORE likely to download those games, wouldn't they
